"Spring is always a special season for us, when we can offer employment opportunities for literally tens of thousands of Americans," Tim Crow, Home Depot's executive vice president of human resources, said in a statement. "We find some of our best associates during our peak season, and many of them have built long, meaningful careers with us."

Good news for the Military. Home Depot also launched an online program where a specific military Skills Translator offers a new tool designed to help translate and match an applicant's unique military skills with the positions that offer the best fit. In addition, Home Depot will be working with military focused career fairs and participate in events in 2013. You can find the skills translator and the 2013 events calendar at www.careers.homedepot.com/military.
